Wide & Unrestricted Subject Choice
Ashfield College’s Leaving Certificate teaching programme offers a choice of 23 subjects at Higher and Ordinary level.
Unlike many other secondary schools, timetables are designed to suit each student, which means that subject choices are unrestricted so each student is able to study the ideal combination of subjects to suit their individual needs.
Supervised Study
Supervised Study is incorporated daily in each student’s timetable.
Ashfield College’s study hall is continuously supervised which allows a completely distraction-free environment for our students.
Continuous Assessment & Examinations
Leaving Certificate students are assigned target grades in each of their subjects at the beginning of the academic year, this helps our students to focus on recognising and achieving their potential.
Monthly assessments are carried out in each subject allowing students to review their progress with their mentor.
Official school test are carried out in October, Christmas and at Easter. 6th Year students complete a full mock examination in all subjects. 5th Year students sit school exams in October, Christmas, Easter and in May.
